Jockey Darryl Bradley charged

On Tuesday, 19th February 2008 New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing’s (NZTR) Chief Stipendiary Steward, Cameron George, formally charged Jockey Darryl Bradley with a Serious Racing Offence under Rule 1001 (1) (v) (i), namely ‘does or permits or suffers to be done any act which a Judicial Committee deems…detrimental to the interests of racing.’
This charge has been brought against Bradley for making a verbal offer by telephone to a representative of the insurance brokerage firm Fraser McAndrew Ryan Limited in Dunedin seeking money or some other benefit in the event Eel Win won the Southland Guineas on 16 February 2008, thereby saving the insurance company paying a $100,000 bonus.
The bonus was offered by Gallop South to the connections of a horse that won all three Gallop South Festival Guineas races at Gore (1355m), Dunedin (1400m) and Invercargill (1600m).
The Inquiry will take place at the offices of NZTR in Petone, Wellington at a time to be determined by the Judicial Control Authority (JCA).
This investigation was opened in response to a complaint lodged by Gallop South on Tuesday, 12 February 2008. Interviews were conducted by NZTR with Bradley, employees of the insurance brokers Fraser McAndrew Ryan Limited and three other relevant persons.On Tuesday, 19th February 2008 New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing’s (NZTR) Chief Stipendiary Steward, Cameron George, formally charged Jockey Darryl Bradley with a Serious Racing Offence under Rule 1001 (1) (v) (i), namely ‘does or permits or suffers to be done any act which a Judicial Committee deems…detrimental to the interests of racing.’
